The Tyrant Boat Ride

PLEASE NOTE: THE TYRANT BOAT RIDE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE WORK.

The ALL NEW Tyrant Boat Ride

This summer, visitors to The London Dungeon can experience the full force of Henry VIII’s wrath in an altogether darker and scarier experience on the ALL NEW , improved, Tyrant Boat Ride.

Condemned to death by Henry’s loyal servant, the Black Jester, for conspiring with Anne Boleyn, guests (now traitors) will join her on her final journey along the Thames to The Tower of London, where you'll meet your fate. You may lose your head - or get wet! Definitely one of those two!

Along the way, the murderous monarch himself will sentence you to death before intense fog, darkness, choppy waters, scurries of rats and foul stench of sewage will give you a 360 feel for the journey that so many other traitors made during King Henry's reign.

Wait a minute... I know that face.

Yes it's much loved actor Brian Blessed starring as Henry VIII at The London Dungeon!

He will appear virtually as a high-tech 3D talking head!

His famous booming voice will condemn guests to execution.

"It was all about the eyes and teeth and getting into the mind of the man. He was dangerous and menacing, a frightening King, and I will bring a wonderful extravagance and confidence to the role."Brian Blessed

Meet the Head Master

You've escaped the swing of the Executioners sword and managed to keep your head! Now you've made it to The Tower of London and will meet the Head Master for an interactive lesson on how to prepare a head for a spike. Having attended to a fair few of Henry VIII’s 72,000 victims, he’s a true expert in his field, with many an insightful story about the crimes that led to their deaths!

“We try to come every year and our pictures with the pillory show children growing tall enough to go from wielding the axes to being chopped themselves. We can't wait to see the new dungeons. And what an inspired choice for old King Hal-perfect! x”
